Tick histamine release factor is critical for Ixodes scapularis engorgement and transmission of the lyme disease agent.

Tick histamine release factor is critical for Ixodes scapularis engorgement and transmission of the lyme disease agent.

Ticks are distributed worldwide and affect human and animal health by transmitting diverse infectious agents. Effective vaccines against most tick-borne pathogens are not currently available. In this study, we characterized a tick histamine release factor (tHRF) from Ixodes scapularis and addressed...
